Pokémon: The Sims

Wu Ge gently shook his head.

That means...

This legend is false; it's pure fabrication.

In the story told by Jiang Ta.

The Sword of the Earth is the exclusive weapon of the ideal hero.

Only those who have gained the approval of Zekrom can unleash the true power of the Earth Sword.

The Blade of Ruin, on the other hand, is the exclusive weapon of true heroes.

Only those who have gained Reshiram's approval can unleash his hidden power.

but.

Reality and ideals are destined to be opposed.

The former eldest and second princes proved this point.

Therefore, the Earth Sword and the Ruined Blade are two swords that exist in a relative sense.

If in the future someone appears wielding the Sword of Earth and the Blade of Ruin, they will surely be each other's enemies.

Their war will surely cause a catastrophe that will affect the entire Union.

It was destined that one of them would die.

Only then can this catastrophe be stopped.

This is the legend that Jiangta told Cynthia.

Even Wu Ge was stunned.

In the story of Jiangta, the order is as follows:

First, they gained the approval of the Dragon of Truth, then the approval of the Sword of Defeat, and finally, the two heroes clashed, igniting the War of Truth.

But the actual order is as follows:

Rami and Kazan held opposing views, but later gained the approval of the Dragon of Truth, ultimately sparking a war for truth.

Two of the swords were completely irrelevant.

Others don't know.

He knew it all too well.

The Earth Sword is a longsword forged from the Stone of Light.

The Blade of Ruin is a greatsword forged from dark stone.

There was nothing else of the sort, and certainly no 'hidden, terrifying power'.

Don't say it.

This story is quite well-crafted.

Wu Ge almost believed it.

Where are those two swords now?

Cynthia asked again.

Although she learned from Riolu that it was just a rumor, Cynthia was still quite curious about the two swords.

It would be great if I could take a look.

"It's said to be underground in the castle."

Jiang Ta pointed to the Sword of Earth outside the glass window.

Does that castle have an underground section?

Cynthia glanced at her with a puzzled look.

"I don't know, maybe something like a warehouse or dungeon? There are rumors that dungeons were built in the past to imprison members of the royal family who committed crimes."

Jiang Ta lowered her head and inhaled a breath of Riolu's good luck, then shook her head blankly.

In truth, those are just legends of some old people.

I don't know if it's just nonsense or not.

Anyway, she'll definitely start talking nonsense when she gets old.

Is that castle inhabited now?

Cynthia glanced at Wu Ge, then asked again.

The dog was intently looking at the castle outside the window, its gaze focused and complex.

This made Cynthia feel that she needed to take Riolu to the castle.

"Of course, although there are League buildings such as the police station and the Pokémon Center in Eindooc, it is not actually under the jurisdiction of the Unova League. It is an independent city and belongs to us, the Earth People. The chieftain of the Earth People lives in the castle."

Jiang Ta nodded.

Cynthia was taken aback by the other party's explanation.

This was the first time the little girl had ever heard of such a city.

But Wu Ge was not surprised.

There are actually quite a few cities like this in the world.

Such as

The city of Rota, known as the "City of Waveguides," is actually governed by the Queen, who resides in the city of Ordron.

The city of Odomare, known as the "City of Water," is actually governed by the mayor, who resides in the Secret Garden.

They are all cities of the same type as Eindook.

Located in a certain region, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Alliance, but receives the Alliance's protection by paying taxes and other means.

Freedom is freedom.

However, there are also drawbacks.

For example, maps that the vast majority of people around the world look at every day.

These are all electronic maps provided by the Pokémon League.

However, this electronic map will only show the cities under the jurisdiction of the alliance.

Cities like Rota, Odomare, and Eindook will not appear on the map provided by the League.

These cities don't usually receive much publicity.

If they want to promote the city, they have to work hard on their own.

Like the annual Warrior Selection Tournament in Rota City, and the annual water competition in Odomare...

Eindooc also has an annual Harvest Festival battle tournament.

However, this method is certainly not as effective as league-wide promotion.

One day it will be forgotten by history and gradually become more and more deserted.

Therefore, more and more cities have joined the alliance in recent years.

Just like the Unova region in the game.

The two versions, with a two-year timeline difference, have five more cities added to the new United States map.

They all joined because they realized they couldn't beat them.

"May we enter the castle?"

Cynthia looked at Jiangta with expectant eyes.

She remembered Jiang Ta saying that she was also a person of the earth.

"This"

Jiang Ta looked troubled.

"Is it not allowed? It's okay, Sister Jiang Ta, you don't need to feel embarrassed about it."

Seeing the other person's expression, Cynthia quickly waved her hand.

Although she wanted to take Riolu to see it.

But if it would put others in a difficult position, she should think of a solution herself.

"No, normally the people of the earth can enter the castle without any problems, but it's become less convenient to go in this past week."

Jiang Ta shook her head, sighed, and pointed to the crowds coming and going outside the window.

"As you can see, there are a lot of travelers in Eindooc. There aren't usually this many. You just happened to arrive during the annual event. The chieftain has been busy with the event, and we can't just enter the castle when there's no one there."

"Is the annual event the Harvest Festival?"

"No."

Jiang Ta shook her head and flipped the menu over.

Wu Ge and Cynthia then noticed.

The back of the menu turned out to be a promotional image.

The background of the promotional image features a bright yellow longsword crossed with a blue-purple greatsword, with the words "Truth Warriors Tournament" written in large characters. The tournament starts tomorrow.

Wu Ge's cheek twitched.

Another brave man.

Don't say it.

There are so many heroes in this Pokémon world.

Waveguide Hero, Rainbow Hero, and now Truth Hero has appeared.

"this is?"

"It's actually just a regular battle tournament. The final winner will receive the title of Hero of Truth for this year, as well as a replica of the Earth Sword or the Blade of Ruin."

Jiang Ta shrugged.

As a native of the earth, she clearly knew more.

The Harvest Festival is an ancient event that has existed since before the people of the land ruled the western continent.

This "Truth Warrior Selection Contest" was a marketing campaign launched more than a decade ago to attract customers.

As for the effect.

Just look at the bustling streets outside and you'll know.

“Cynthia can wait until the day after tomorrow. I will take you and Riolu to the castle then. The chief will definitely be very happy. If you are confident, you can also participate in the activities tomorrow. If you win, you can also enter the castle.”

"Oh~ That's great, Riolu! Let's go to the battle tournament tomorrow and have some fun?"

Cynthia's eyes lit up.

It would be nice to participate in this event and have some fun with other trainers.

Not only will it create more precious memories on the journey, but it will also enhance everyone's fighting ability.

The United Nations Tournament will begin in just over two months.

There must be quite a few trainers here for pre-competition training.

She could get to know these people beforehand.

"."

Wu Ge did not speak.

Firstly, he didn't really want to participate in the event.

He figured that since everyone's attention would be focused on the outside during tomorrow's event, he would sneak into the underground part of the Earth Sword with Victini to see what was there.

Secondly, he's currently pretending to be a good, silent dog.

Wu Ge noticed that far too many people in the tea restaurant were turning their attention to him.
